Hi, I’m Nick Courtney — founder of our athletic development camps and a lifelong sports enthusiast. I've dedicated my life to athletics, competing in a wide range of sports including hockey (15 years), flag football (10 years), baseball (9 years), soccer (7 years), cornhole (10 years), ultimate frisbee (4 years) bowling (3 years), and even a season of basketball. Sports have shaped who I am — not just physically, but mentally and emotionally — and I’m passionate about helping the next generation experience that same growth.

At my camps, we don’t just play games — we build athletes. I believe every child has the potential to develop real skills, strong discipline, and a love for healthy competition. It’s not about participation trophies — it’s about pushing limits, learning teamwork, and discovering what they’re truly capable of.

When I’m not playing sports, I’m watching them. And when I’m not watching sports, I’m hanging out with friends… talking about sports. It’s more than a hobby — it’s who I am.

Whether your child is new to sports or looking to take their game to the next level, I’m here to guide them every step of the way.

Coach Chase Rider brings over 20 years of playing experience to the field, along with a lifelong passion for sports. A multi-sport athlete, Chase also played basketball for 5 years, but his greatest accomplishments came on the soccer field. He competed at the Division III collegiate level, where he not only excelled but set single-season school records that still stand today.

Off the field, Chase is a dedicated K–4 Health and Physical Education teacher, committed to building strong foundations for young athletes through skill development, teamwork, and a love for active living. Known for his energy, competitive drive, and approachable teaching style, Chase thrives on inspiring players of all ages to reach their full potential, both in sports and in life.
